Dela apostolska 17
1 Prošavši pak Amfipolj i Apoloniju doðoše u Solun, gdje bješe zbornica Jevrejska.
And taking their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica; where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 I Pavle po obièaju svome uðe k njima, i tri subote razgovara se s njima iz pisma,
And according to Paul's custom, he entered in among them, and discoursed to them for three Sabbaths from the scriptures;
3 Pokazujuæi i dokazujuæi im da je trebalo Hristos da postrada i vaskrsne iz mrtvijeh, i da ovaj Isus kojega ja, reèe, propovijedam vama, jest Hristos.
opening them, and evidently showing that the Messiah ought to suffer, and to rise from the dead; and that this is the Messiah, even Jesus, whom I declare to you.
4 I neki od njih vjerovaše, i pristaše s Pavlom i sa Silom, i od pobožnijeh Grka mnoštvo veliko, i od žena gospodskijeh ne malo.
And some of them believed, and adhered to Paul and Silas; besides, a considerable number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the principal women.
5 Ali tvrdovrati Jevreji zaviðahu, i uzevši neke zle ljude od prostoga naroda, i sabravši èetu, uzbuniše po gradu, i napadoše na kuæu Jasonovu, i tražahu ih da izvedu pred narod.
But the unbelieving Jews, filled with zeal, gathered together some mean and profligate fellows, and making a mob, threw the city into a tumult; and assaulting the house of Jason, endeavored to bring them out to the people.
6 A kad njih ne naðoše, povukoše Jasona i neke od braæe pred starješine gradske vièuæi: ovi što zamutiše vasioni svijet doðoše i ovdje,
But not finding them, they dragged Jason, and some of the brethren to the magistrates of the city, crying out, These men, that have turned the world upside down, are come hither, also;
7 Koje Jason primi; i ovi svi rade protiv æesarevijeh zapovijesti, govoreæi da ima drugi car, Isus.
and Jason has privately received them. And all these men act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 I smutiše narod i starješine gradske koji ovo èuše.
And they alarmed the multitude and the magistrates of the city, when they heard these things.
9 Ali kad ih Jason i ostali zadovoljiše odgovorom, pustiše ih.
And having taken security of Jason, and the rest, they dismissed them.
10 A braæa odmah noæu opraviše Pavla i Silu u Veriju. Došavši onamo uðoše u zbornicu Jevrejsku.
But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas, by night, to Berea: and when they came thither, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Ovi pak bijahu plemenitiji od onijeh što žive u Solunu; oni primiše rijeè sa svijem srcem, i svaki dan istraživahu po pismu je li to tako.
Now these were of a more noble disposition that those of Thessalonica: for they received the word with all readiness of mind, daily examining the scriptures, whether those things were so.
12 Tako vjerovaše mnogi od njih, i od poštenijeh Grèkijeh žena i od ljudi ne malo.
Many of them, therefore, believed; both of the Grecian women of considerable rank, and of the men not a few.
13 A kad razabraše Jevreji Solunski da Pavle u Veriji propovjedi rijeè Božiju, doðoše i onamo te uzdigoše i pobuniše narod.
But as soon as some of the Jews of Thessalonica understood that the word of God was announced by Paul at Berea, they came thither, also, exciting the populace.
14 A braæa onda odmah opraviše Pavla da ide u primorje; a Sila i Timotije ostaše ondje.
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, as if he were to go by sea. But Silas and Timothy continued there.
15 A pratioci dovedoše Pavla do Atine; i primivši zapovijest na Silu i Timotija da doðu k njemu što brže, vratiše se.
And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens: and having received an order for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they set out.
16 A kad ih Pavle èekaše u Atini, razdraži se duh njegov u njemu gledajuæi grad pun idola;
Now, while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit within him was strongly moved when he beheld the city enslaved to idolatry.
17 I prepiraše se s Jevrejima i bogobojaznima u zbornici, i na pazaru svaki dan s onima s kojima se udešavaše.
He therefore reasoned with the Jews and proselytes in the synagogue; and in the forum, daily, with those who met with him.
18 A neki od Epikurovaca i od Stojièkijeh mudaraca prepirahu se s njim; i jedni govorahu: šta hoæe ovaj besposlica? A drugi: vidi se kao da hoæe nove bogove da propovijeda. Jer im propovijedaše jevanðelje o Isusu i o vaskrseniju.
Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers opposed him. Others said, What would this babbler say? And others, he seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities; because he declared to them the good news concerning Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Pa ga uzeše i odvedoše na Areopag govoreæi: možemo li razumjeti kakva je ta nova nauka što ti kazuješ?
And they took him and conducted him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, which is spoken by you?
20 Jer nešto novo meæeš u naše uši; hoæemo dakle da vidimo šta æe to biti.
for you bring some strange things to our ears; we would, therefore, know what these things mean.
21 A Atinjani svi i putnici iz drugijeh zemalja ne bijahu ni za što drugo nego da što novo kazuju ili slušaju.
For all the Athenians, and the strangers that sojourned among them spent their leisure in nothing else but in telling or hearing news.
22 A Pavle stavši nasred Areopaga reèe: ljudi Atinjani! po svemu vas vidim da ste vrlo pobožni;
Paul, therefore, standing up in the middle of Areopagus, said, Athenians, I perceive that you are exceedingly addicted to the worship of demons.
23 Jer prolazeæi i motreæi vaše svetinje naðoh i oltar na kome bješe napisano: Bogu nepoznatome. Kojega dakle ne znajuæi poštujete onoga vam ja propovijedam.
For, as I passed along, and beheld the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, To the Unknown God: Him, therefore, you ignorantly worship, I announce to you.
24 Bog koji je stvorio svijet i sve što je u njemu, on buduæi gospodar neba i zemlje, ne živi u rukotvorenijem crkvama,
The God who made the world, and all things that are in it, being the Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands:
25 Niti prima ugaðanja od ruku èovjeèijih, kao da bi onome trebalo što koji sam daje svima život i dihanje i sve.
Neither is he served by human hands, as if he stood in need of anything; he himself giving to all, life, and breath, and all things.
26 I uèinio je da od jedne krvi sav rod èovjeèij živi po svemu licu zemaljskome, i postavio je naprijed odreðena vremena i meðe njihovoga življenja:
And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:
27 Da traže Gospoda, ne bi li ga barem opipali i našli, premda nije daleko ni od jednoga nas;
that they might seek after the Lord, if possibly they might feel after him, and find him; though he be not far from every one of us:
28 Jer kroz njega živimo, i mièemo se, i jesmo; kao što i neki od vašijeh pjevaèa rekoše: jer smo i rod njegov.
for in him we live, and are moved, and do exist; as some of your own poets have said--"For we his offspring are."
29 Kad smo dakle rod Božij, ne treba da mislimo da je Božanstvo kao ikone zlatne ili srebrne ili kamene, koje su ljudi majstorski naèinili po smišljanju svome.
We, therefore, being the offspring of God, ought not to imagine the Deity to be like gold, or silver, or stone, wrought by the art and contrivance of man.
30 Ne gledajuæi dakle Bog na vremena neznanja, sad zapovijeda svima ljudima svuda da se pokaju;
For though God overlooked the times of ignorance, he now makes proclamation to all men, everywhere, to reform;
31 Jer je postavio dan u koji æe suditi vasionome svijetu po pravdi preko èovjeka koga odredi, i dade svima vjeru vaskrsnuvši ga iz mrtvijeh.
because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world righteously, by that Man whom he has ordained: of which he has given assurance to all men, by raising him from the dead.
32 A kad èuše vaskrsenije iz mrtvijeh, onda se jedni rugahu; a jedni rekoše: da te èujemo opet o tom.
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some made a jest of it, and others said, We will hear you again upon this subject.
33 Tako Pavle otide izmeðu njih.
And this Paul went out of the midst of them.
34 A neki ljudi pristaše uza nj i vjerovaše; meðu kojima bješe i Ðonisije Areopagitski, i žena po imenu Damara, i drugi s njima.
Nevertheless, some men adhered to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius, the Areopagite; also a woman, whose name was Damaris; and others with them.
